They became even more delighted and excited just thinking about it. Zayn was planning to get the best villa in Barrow Cove anyway, just that he was doing it with some added attention now. It would not affect him for the slightest bit. On the contrary, Zayn found Skye and her family members’ presence rather interesting and he was rather eager to see their expressions later. Zayn had always been acting like a useless good-for-nothing deadbeat when he lived with the Carter family after marrying Faye. He had no lack of experience being bantered by Skye’s family and now that he managed to turn the table successfully, he had the opportunity to let them have a taste of their own medicine. He would never miss this opportunity for anything, of course. Moreover, it also allowed him to hold his head high to Ruby and Waine. Hence, many people followed the realtor to head to Phase 9 to view the houses there.One had no choice but to acknowledge that the villas in Phase 9 of the most presti
Everyone was struck by how ludicrous—bordering on surreal—it all was. “Transaction complete” for a whopping figure of 6.06 million?!It took a mass of hundreds five full seconds to finally reel back from their bewilderment, evident in a loud, collective sharp inhale of breath.In the end, it took Zayn himself to break the shocked silence. With a faint smile still hanging on his lips, he told the agent, “I’ve signed my name, so please get the papers ready as soon as possible. I’ll be staying here tonight.”Indeed, Zayn had graced all of the contracts with a signature scribbled by a relaxed, confident hand. In response, the hall exploded in furor.“Holy cow!”“I didn’t get it wrong, right? He paid it, in full, right? It’s 6.06 million! That’s more than 6 million! How the hell?!”“I must be dreaming—I gotta be dreaming this whole thing up. This guy looks like a food delivery guy! Where the hell did he get all this money from?!”“You don’t think we’ve been wrong this whole time… tha
Not 60 thousand, or 600 thousand. No, it was 6 million! That was more or less the market value of Roman’s company! And yet, Zayn bought the house of an equivalent price and paid it in full, right there and then!Alan was starting to wonder if he was having a really weird trip.Meanwhile, Skye and Stella were so gobsmacked, their faces bordered on comical. Zayn seized the moment and remarked with a smile, “Well, it’s your turn now, Skye. You’ve got the funds prepared, I trust? The villa next to us seems pretty good, too. It only costs about 5.44 million.”In a flash, the agents sprung, documents readied. Here it was, another handsome sale to reap!Skye and her companions did not share their enthusiasm at all. In fact, they felt their hair standing on its end while their hands grew cold. Even now, they could not form an explanation for Zayn’s ridiculous wealth. Where did he get all this money from? It just flew in the face of logic! Was this really some sort of hallucination? Skye an
Skye was utterly bemused.Never in her wildest imagination had she ever thought Roman would leave just like that. She had exhausted all of her wits and wiles to stroke the man’s ego enough to make him agree to buying her a villa in Barrow Cove. This was supposed to be the house for their life after marriage! And yet now, her beau basically abandoned her and fled. This was not her imagined scenario at all!“H-hey! Why did Roman flee?!” Stella cried out, her mood soured.Skye sprung out of the door, hoping to catch up to him, but he was already nowhere in sight.Now, she was utterly mortified.There was no way Ruby would ever pass up a chance to exercise her vindictive nature. Like a veteran in the art of schadenfreude, she unleashed a flurry of caustic bite-backs, mimicking the kind of jeering Stella and Skye had done just earlier.“Aww, but he was soooo sure he was going to buy a grand villa just now, wasn’t he? Why did he run away instead? I mean, it’s only like 5.6 million! Def
Their conversation did not take place very far away from where Zayn was, which meant every line they uttered was within earshot. He heard everything as clear as a bell.He could not stop his lips from curling into a pleased smile. Ruby had disparaged and griped about him at every opportunity she had over the years that when it finally transformed into gushing awe, Zayn could not help but feel very gratified.Faye bit her lips and sniped a glance at Zayn before striding out of the door.If she were being honest, Faye knew she was being crass. Her personal conflicts aside, she admitted that Zayn had helped them out. And the fact that she left without saying thanks… Well, she seemed like a thankless boor.Problem was, she could not possibly regard Zayn as though they were just two people having a normal interaction anymore—not when Zayn had become so exceptional!The only thing she could do now was to leave his physical vicinity as quickly as she could to salvage her fast-fleeing cal
Faye was infuriated. “What nonsense are you prattling about again?! You know the two of us have been sleeping in separate beds this whole time! He’s never even laid a finger on me before, let alone sleep with me. Honestly, the two of us were never a functional couple. He didn’t have an ounce due to pay!”Her seething retort managed to render Ruby speechless for a while, but her bitterness over what she lost in Zayn quickly reloaded the words back into her mouth. “Honestly? You’re also one to blame here. I can’t believe that after so many years, you’ve never consummated your marriage until it’s over! You were a terrible wife, you know that?”Her words poured so much fuel to Faye’s rage that she actually laughed. “Oh, now it’s my fault for keeping myself clean, huh? Since the very first night he’s joined the family, you’ve been nagging and demanding and belting out this ceaseless litany about keeping Zayn at bay from me. And now you’re complaining about us not consummating our marriage
Zayn smiled briefly without a word. After wiping away his sweat and stopping his training, he walked to the balcony with Mr. Hyde in tow, allowing the breeze to cool him off. “I managed to defeat Zidane while I was with the Larsons. My revenge has been exacted.”“Heard of it, yes,” Mr. Hyde replied with a nod, his voice laced with admiration and awe.When the news of it had gotten to him, it took My. Hyde like a jolt. He knew how powerful the family was; he might be the King of the Underworld, but next to the family, he meant as much as a common goon. The family would have easily crushed him under their boot. Zidane, especially, was the crown jewel out of a pile of dirty rubble, yet Zayn threw himself right into the giant’s maw, all alone and without help. In spite of it all, he beat them into submission. He gave all of them a lesson like it was nothing!Honestly, Mr. Hyde had found it almost impossible to believe when he heard it.Zayn paused in mid-conversation and looked far int
Mr. Hyde admitted to it, though it did puzzle him: how did Zayn know? He might have been Hayley King’s inferior, but he had always managed to conceal his real identity. The secret was so airtight, not a single member of the Larson family had known about it—not even the late Connor Larson.Until now, when Zayn found out about it somehow. It really brought questions of whether Mr. Hyde had become a little sloppy in preventing little slip-ups.Zayn gave a drawn-out sigh. “I can’t believe you really are one of my mother’s people. Honestly, this is a bolt out of the blue. So… I guess my mom’s marriage into the Larson family was never innocent?”Mr. Hyde read Zayn’s expression and realized that the young man never found any evidence of his connection with the latter’s mother—he was merely accusing out of suspicion. Had Mr. Hyde clenched his teeth and denied Zayn’s allegation, the young man would probably discard his hunch altogether. Mr. Hyde’s admission basically sold himself out.“You
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
